Title:
OPTICAL FIBER BENDING LOSS MEASURING METHOD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2021/251474
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
This optical fiber bending loss measuring method is for calculating an optical fiber bending loss by applying bending to an optical fiber F through use of a plurality of mandrels (e.g., fixed mandrels 55 and movable mandrels 65) that are disposed between a feed-out part 10 and a fixing part (e.g., fiber catcher 70) and that are alternately arranged in the longitudinal direction of the optical fiber. The method includes: a step for fixing, to the fixing part, an optical fiber fed out from the feed-out part without being held between adjacent mandrels; a step for moving the movable mandrels to a forward position and applying bending to the optical fiber by sandwiching the optical fiber between adjacent mandrels so as to bend the optical fiber at a prescribed angle in the longitudinal direction; and a step for calculating an optical fiber bending loss in a state where the bending is applied to the optical fiber.
